Momnesia

Finally, there is a name for it. Momnesia. It's what happens to your brain after the birth of a baby. Supposedly it occurs because you have high levels of estrogen, testosterone, and oxytocin raging in your brain, you lose more than 700 hours of sleep during your baby's first year, and you only have so many brain cells and once you've remembered to feed your baby, change him/her, help him meet all of his milestones, remember his doctor appointments (WHEW!) you then forget to shower, brush your teeth, and pay for your groceries when you're leaving the store. And, yes, I have forgotten all of those things! Maybe when Brody turns one I will become a little better at being normal, who am I kidding?!?! :)
